A very colorful and extremely vibrant Indian restaurant I have ever visited in the U.S. It almost looks like a night place with some highly saturated colors and lightings (that might cause dizziness for a few) but it's so good indeed. The food is kind of decent not the best considering the cost.
The Food:
So we ordered Kadai Paneer as our main entree with Garlic Naan and Butter Roti, along with Masala fries as starters.
Kadai Paneer Story::
We specifically mentioned mild spice for Kadai Paneer since we are dining in with a 1 y/o. So we got the order and to our surprise it was way too spicy and definitely it's out of reach for kids. I don't know if the Spice level was conveyed to kitchen. So we called out the staffs and we told them it was very spicy. They acknowledged and took it back, and told it starts from Medium spicy; we felt it could have been clearly told to us before at the time of order, but even then it was not just medium level spicy it was on the extreme. I really wish they consider this. They were kind enough to offer us a different gravy that was totally the opposite made out of Malai gravy. It was super bland, sweet and no salt but that's alright I felt at least the kid was able to have some Paneer pieces. One doubt I had was the cauliflower in the Malai gravy was not cooked to perfection and it smelt unusual, so I took it out.
The Garlic naan got super cold and the Roti's became very hard immediately on arrival. So nothing much to say about that and mainly because the spice spoiled the party. The Cheesy Masala fries were just okay and they literally had very little cheese, and the masala was too cliche. Nothing special there.
Service and Ambience:
Despite being a Friday night at around 7:30 it was not that much crowded like it's supposed to be.
The best part of the restaurant is that their service, the staffs and the atmosphere. It's full of amazing colorful vibes. The staffs are extremely friendly, considerate and understanding. The moment we brought about this spice issue, the staffs immediately helped us with another dish as mentioned above and clearly explained the efforts they put behind this to make it as simple and spicy-less as possible. Kudos to their management on this! Totally deserve 5 stars if they had done the food part better. The looks and aesthetic were so good. The downside of this place was I'm not sure why they had kept AC on when the temperatures are around 30-40* F outside. It also made the food go cold as soon as it was placed on the table.
BOTTOMLINE: A very decent place for Indian fine dining experience and some fabulous service. I would like to try this place one more time before I totally write off this place. And I would give a 3.5.
